Chapter 1674 - 1760: Undercurrents
All his people were fresh troops. Once they joined, the Desert Eagle would be instantly swallowed.These people also included Di Lingtian. For him, the Divine Strategy Army was a big secret, so this secret must be buried deep underground.
Now he most wants to see if Huo Qiyin and his people can find the underground palace. Actually, this time he came here not only for the Divine Strategy Army, but more importantly, for Earth Damp 24. Initially, he only obtained a part of this formation, and didn’t expect it to be so powerful. If he could get the complete Earth Damp 24, he estimated the power it would hold would be infinite.
"Lord Pheasant, are our helpers coming?"
Di Lingtian, this brainless man, was still very excited at this moment. In his view, if the helpers arrived, it would definitely be genuinely thrilling and exciting for him.
"Yes, if nothing goes wrong, they will arrive tomorrow!"
Lord Pheasant said softly, thinking tomorrow would be your death anniversary.
"Great, then can I sleep with that woman tomorrow?"
Di Lingtian said excitedly. This brute had long wanted to sleep with Fragrant Concubine, reputed as the most beautiful woman in the desert, but was unable to because Lord Pheasant didn’t allow it.
"You can, as soon as my people arrive. You may!"
Lord Pheasant sneered, thinking that once his people arrived, he would make sure Di Lingtian would die without a proper burial.
Three days have passed since Su Xuan disappeared. By this time, Su Xuan’s residual influence had already diminished greatly. In a desert, if you can’t find food, not just three days—one day would be unbearable. So, three days without Su Xuan’s appearance suggested he likely met with an accident.
The reason for not taking action today was largely due to these people seeming to be affected by Su Xuan’s influence, being very united, coupled with the Desert Eagle’s reasons.
"Hahaha... that’s great. Little Pheasant, rest assured, I only want my Dragon Gate and my Fragrant Concubine. The rest, you can do whatever you want, I don’t care!"
Di Lingtian said excitedly. This idiot didn’t notice that when Pheasant handed over the reins of Little Pheasant, Lord Pheasant’s Killing Aura almost wiped him out in an instant.
Outdoors in the Great Desert!
The Firearms Camp and Luo Tianyi’s group discovered a tomb exposed by the wind and were carefully excavating at this moment. Luo Tianyi washed her face with tears daily, several times considering leaving with Su Xuan.
"Tianyi, tears are precious in the desert. Stop crying, or your eyes won’t be able to stand it!"
Huo Qiyin gently reminded.
"Yes, Sister Yiyi, you needn’t be too sad. Big Brother Su might not be dead!"
"Why do you say that? Did you discover something?"
Luo Tianyi asked eagerly.
"Quicksand doesn’t only lead to places of death; oftentimes it leads to tombs. The teacher suspects..."
A man said softly as Luo Tianyi looked at Huo Qiyin full of hope. Huo Qiyin glanced at the people from Japan and then lowered his voice.
"Enough talk!"
At that instant, Luo Tianyi’s tears flowed again. Truth be told, these were tears of joy; when she first learned Su Xuan was possibly no longer in this world, Luo Tianyi felt life was meaningless. But now, hearing this, perhaps Su Xuan wasn’t in trouble after all.
"Sister Yiyi, rest assured, recently the Desert Eagle has been looking for Big Brother Su too!"
After the man said that, he ceased speaking and lowered his head to work.
The Desert Eagle had faced considerable destruction during this disaster; the sandstorms were too intense. However, Brother Fei Ying and his people indeed were formidable, with over twenty surviving in such destructive sandstorms.
They not only survived but saved Wang Tieniu. That day, Wang Tieniu, using his shield, was thrown dozens of meters away by the colossal rebound force until a sandstorm blew him away. Later, he encountered the Desert Eagles, who saved him. When the Desert Eagles learned about the events at Dragon Gate Inn, they admired Su Xuan, thus they came near Dragon Gate, forming a force threatening Lord Pheasant.
In the Ancient Tomb, Su Xuan was still a bit anxious. They had been trapped in the tomb for three days, and for three days, Su Xuan found that no matter how they walked, they returned to the starting point. It felt like being stuck in a labyrinth, which was quite maddening.
"Damn it, what a crappy tomb!"
Su Xuan couldn’t help but curse. He now felt ancient people were really idle, building such a strange tomb even after death.
"Right, what the hell is Dragon Gate Flying Armor!"
Su Xuan suddenly remembered what Bu Daming said earlier; Dragon Gate Flying Armor was the key to opening the underground palace. Could it be related?
"It’s this!"
Xuan said, taking out a jade pendant from her neck, resembling a token.
"This is Dragon Gate Flying Armor!"
Su Xuan was taken aback, thinking how many people were speculating about Dragon Gate Flying Armor when it turned out to be a jade pendant.
"Yes, father said Dragon Gate Flying Armor is the key to opening the underground palace’s door, but I couldn’t find the keyhole after searching for it for days!"
Xuan said a bit embarrassedly.
"Let me think!"
Li Fan spoke as he looked around, slowly circulating a bit of Dark Strength, striking the stone wall in the void with no significant movement, feeling somewhat disheartened. Although there was water, if they couldn’t find an exit soon, they might starve here.
Just then, Su Xuan saw a table with a Go board on it. Initially, he thought it was just decoration, as ancient people liked such elegant amusements.
"We won’t have to play, will we?"
Su Xuan said weakly.
"No way, maybe we should try!"
"I don’t know how either!"
Su Xuan waved, but indeed couldn’t play Go; it was too difficult.
Casually, he picked up a piece and tossed it. The next moment, with a hum, lines interlaced across the entire space, and the opposite Go board actually moved.
"Damn it!"
Peng Yue was really speechless; it seemed playing was the reason. However, after Su Xuan made a move, he noticed the large stone blocks around him moved a step closer!
"Damn it, if we lose, these things might trap us here!"
Su Xuan was really speechless. Why hadn’t he studied this stuff before? Now it’s truly a case of needing the books for use when the time comes, but regretting not reading them sooner.
